Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Oklahoma Eagle is a Tulsa-based Black-owned newspaper published by James O. Goodwin.[1] Established in 1922, it has been called the voice of Black Tulsa and is a successor to the Tulsa Star newspaper, which burned in the 1921 Tulsa race massacre. The Oklahoma Eagle publishes news about the Black community and reported on the 1921 Tulsa race massacre at a time when many white-owned newspapers in Tulsa refused to acknowledge it.[1] The Oklahoma Eagle is also Oklahoma's longest-running Black-owned newspaper.[2] The Oklahoma Eagle serves a print subscriber base throughout six Northeastern Oklahoma counties, statewide, in 36 U.S. states and territories, and abroad. It claims that it is the tenth oldest Black-owned newspaper in the United States still publishing today.
